    Answer:

    Stock price = $24.703

    Explanation:

    The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

    In this question, the cash flows are the dividends as given in the question and the rate of return (discount rate) is 10%

    The Present Value of a future cash flow is the amount that needs to be invested today at a particular rate of return to equal the same cash flow in the future. Present value means the value in year 0 or now

    The idea is premised on the concept of the time value of money. The idea that $1 today is not the same as $1 tomorow. The $1 of today is worth more than that of tomorrow; and because of the opportunity to earn interest.

    So if an asset (e. g a stock) promises some cash flows in the future, those cash flows need to be brought to their present values and then be added to arrive at the value of the asset

    The process of calculating the present value of a future sum is called discounting. So to calculate the stock price in this question, we shall discount the future dividends using the required rate of return and then add them together.

    This is done as follows:

    PV of Div. in year 1 = 1.00 / (1.10) = 0.909

    PV of Div. year 2 = 1.20 / (1.10) ² = 0.992

    PV of Div in year 3 = 1.44 / (1.10) ³=0.082

    PV (in year 3) of Div payable in year 4 and beyond = (1.44*1.05) / (0.10-0.05) = 30.24.

    PV (in year 0) of Div payable in year 4 and beyond = 30.24 / (1.10) ³ = 22.720

    Stock price = Sum of the PV of the future dividends

    =0.909+0.992+0.082+22.720 = $24.703
